I enjoyed the program. In addition, based on the day’s theme of “respect,” students were encouraged to act kindly and kindly to each other, such as by loudly shouting “Nice shot!” when they hit the ball well, and to protect the golf course by making soil on the fairway. I learned the importance of respect, such as expressing gratitude to others. At The Southern Links Golf Club, we have been collaborating with local boards of education and other organizations to continue interacting with children and students through golf course tours and golf experience events. We have been creating opportunities for people to receive it. We hope to use this “First Tee” event as an opportunity to further contribute to collaboration with the local community and the development of the next generation. Also, since this is the first time the first tee will be held in Okinawa, we received a message from Mika Miyazato, one of Okinawa’s leading female golfers and one of our advisory contract professionals. “I am very happy that the First Tee program will be held in my hometown of Okinawa.I want many children to learn a lot while enjoying golf and use it as a source of inspiration for their lives. ” (original) Professional golfer Miyazato started playing golf at the age of 7 and became the youngest player to win the Japan Women’s Amateur Championship at the age of 14. He gained the right to play on the US tour at the age of 19, became a professional player, and moved to the US. This is an encouraging message from Miyazato, who has a deep understanding of nurturing the next generation. In addition to Okinawa Prefecture, Accordia Golf will continue to increase the number of event locations across the country, providing opportunities for many children to continue learning and enjoying the sport of golf while being surrounded by nature and greenery. We will continue to provide the following. “First Tee” Based on the concept of “Building Game Changers,” we provide educational programs that encourage children to have rich values in life and develop healthy
personalities through golf. It was created in the United States in 1997, and to date, 15 million youth have participated worldwide. The program is designed not only to develop junior golfers, but also to promote healthy human development in children through golf.In the United States, it is not only implemented on golf courses, but also in school education and after-school programs. has also been
incorporated. Accordia Golf also supports First Tee’s activities and has been holding the program at our company-managed courses since 2016. To date, more than 3,000 children have participated at nine facilities.
